Description

Flumequine Sodium is the sodium salt form of the synthetic antibacterial agent flumequine, a member of the fluoroquinolone class. This compound is valued for its potent activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative bacteria, making it a critical intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is primarily utilized by the animal health and veterinary pharmaceutical industries for the production of medicated feed and therapeutic treatments.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the synthesis of antibacterial treatments for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.
• Medicated Feed Premix: Incorporated into animal feed to prevent and control bacterial infections, promoting herd and flock health.
• Aquaculture Disease Management: Used in formulations to combat bacterial diseases in farmed fish and shrimp, such as furunculosis and vibriosis.
• Poultry Health Products: A component in treatments for bacterial enteritis and respiratory conditions in chickens and turkeys.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in antimicrobial research and new drug development.
• API Synthesis: An essential starting material or intermediate for the chemical synthesis of other fluoroquinolone derivatives.
